Bitcoin could hit a short-term bottom in June before rebounding, according to an analysis by BIT (formerly Matrixport). The firm noted that while BTC's average June return over the past 10 years is just +0.7% and summer months are typically marked by range-bound trading and corrections, this year may not follow the seasonal pattern. BIT pointed out that May, usually a strong month for Bitcoin, saw below-average gains this year. At the same time, several potential catalysts are on the horizon, including crypto perpetual futures approved by U.S. regulators and the upcoming launch of Nasdaq CME crypto index futures. While seasonal pressures persist, BIT's technical analysis suggests BTC may be approaching a short-term low. The firm concluded that if these new catalysts attract buying pressure, a rebound is quite possible.

European Central Bank (ECB) Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel said on June 1 that the bank can no longer ignore the inflationary impact of the war in Iran, as price pressures spread beyond the energy sector and the risk of inflation expectations becoming de-anchored grows.

Regarding the number of interest rate hikes, Schnabel commented that it is "too early to say" it will end with just a few increases, adding that the ECB must "wait and see how the situation develops." She also noted that the current shock differs from past energy crises, as it is increasingly taking on the character of a global demand shock that is simultaneously raising production costs worldwide.
